Using Real-Time Threat Detection To Stop Kubernetes Attacks

Using Real-Time Threat Detection To Stop Kubernetes Attacks

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More Over the last year 89% of organizations experienced at least one container or Kubernetes security incident, making security a high priority for DevOps and security teams. Despite many DevOps teams’ opinions of Kubernetes not being secure, it commands 92% of the container market. Gartner predicts that 95% of enterprises will be running containerized applications in production by 2029, a significant jump from less than 50% last year.  While misconfigurations are responsible for 40% of incidents and 26% reported their organizations failed audits, the underlying weaknesses of Kubernetes security haven’t yet been fully addressed. One of the most urgent issues is deciphering the massive number of alerts produced and finding the ones that reflect a credible threat. Kubernetes attacks are growing Attackers are finding Kubernetes environments to be an easy target due to the growing number of misconfigurations and vulnerabilities enterprises using them are not resolving quickly – if at all. Red Hat’s latest state of Kubernetes security …

Ethnic minority shop owners targeted in UK riots fear more attacks | Features

Ethnic minority shop owners targeted in UK riots fear more attacks | Features

As rioters went on the attack in dozens of British towns and cities recently, some targeted businesses belonging to ethnic minority Britons. The unrest began in the aftermath of a fatal stabbing attack in Southport that killed three young girls, which agitators misleadingly blamed on a Muslim migrant. As disinformation about the suspect travelled at pace online, angry crowds took to the streets to abuse migrants and Muslims at random. Black and Asian Britons were also targeted. On August 3, as many brought chaos to the northern English city of Liverpool, which is near Southport, Ardalan Othman watched in real time as his convenience shop was looted and vandalised. His security cameras filmed the incident. In one scene, a group of men steal boxes of cigarettes. Some take expensive items like vapes. A couple spend their efforts trying to break into the till. But some are seen placing singular bars of chocolate into their rucksacks. “I could see everything as it was happening,” said Othman. He called the police immediately but it was too late. …

GOP women beg Trump to tone down attacks as his campaign pushes racist Kamala Harris meme

GOP women beg Trump to tone down attacks as his campaign pushes racist Kamala Harris meme

It used to be that you had to go to the dark recesses of the web to find white supremacist memes about immigrants of color poisoning the blood of the nation. In 2024, those memes are now distributed by one of the two major political parties in the United States, using a platform owned by the world’s richest man. “Import the third world. Become the third world,” Donald Trump’s official campaign account posted on X, billionaire Elon Musk’s more racist version of Twitter. The post was accompanied by side-by-side images, one of an idyllic suburban home hanging an American flag, the other (“Your neighborhood under Kamala”) a group of largely Black men. Very fine people these immigrants are not, according to the Republican Party’s candidate for president. Elect Vice President Kamala Harris, whose biracial background is both confounding and upsetting to the Trump-Vance ticket, and the message is clear: White folks might see people of color — Black men, even — in their very own neighborhood. It’s nothing new for the 78-year-old Trump, a man …

Atheist Alliance International Expresses Deep Concern Over Attacks on Minority Religious Communities in Bangladesh

Atheist Alliance International Expresses Deep Concern Over Attacks on Minority Religious Communities in Bangladesh

August 5, 2024 Atheist Alliance International (AAI) is profoundly disturbed by the ongoing attacks on the homes and temples of minority religious communities in Bangladesh, perpetrated by Islamic fundamentalist mobs. These acts of violence not only threaten the safety and well-being of innocent people but also undermine the fundamental principles of justice, equality, and secularism enshrined in the Constitution of Bangladesh. AAI urges Bangladesh’s interim government to take immediate and effective action to protect all citizens, regardless of their religious beliefs. It is imperative that the government ensures the safety of minority communities and their places of worship. The values of a secular constitution demand that every individual has the right to practice their religion freely and without fear of persecution. We call for the immediate protection of these vulnerable communities through the deployment of security forces to safeguard their homes and temples from further attacks. Additionally, we stress the importance of upholding Bangladesh’s commitment to its secular constitution, ensuring that state policies and actions reflect the principles of religious freedom and equality. AAI also …

The Racist, Sexist Attacks on Kamala Harris

The Racist, Sexist Attacks on Kamala Harris

Produced by ElevenLabs and News Over Audio (NOA) using AI narration. Less than 48 hours after Vice President Kamala Harris won the support of enough delegates to secure the Democratic nomination, Republican Party leadership had a modest proposal for members: Please stop being so overtly racist and sexist. “House Republican leaders told lawmakers to focus on criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris’ record without reference to her race and gender,” Politico reported, “following caustic remarks from some Republicans attacking her on the basis of identity.” Having to make such a request means that it’s already too late. Several Republican members of Congress had by then started referring to Harris as a “DEI hire,” a reference to diversity, equity, and inclusion, but in reality an assertion that Harris is the nominee only “because of her ethnic background,” as Republican Representative Glenn Grothman of Wisconsin put it. The conservative activist Tom Fitton engaged in some neo-birtherism, implying that Harris’s Jamaican and South Asian parents render her ineligible to run for president. The former Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway …

Wegovy: Weight-loss jab approved for use in preventing heart attacks and strokes in UK | Science & Tech News

Wegovy: Weight-loss jab approved for use in preventing heart attacks and strokes in UK | Science & Tech News

A weight-loss jab has been approved by the UK’s medicines regulator for use in preventing heart attacks and strokes in overweight or obese adults. Wegovy, which is the brand name for the drug semaglutide, had already got the green light for weight management in those with obesity. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has now allowed it to be used in helping overweight or obese people cut their risk of heart problems. Wegovy is the first weight-loss medication to be approved in the UK as a preventative method for “established cardiovascular disease”. It can be prescribed to people who have a body mass index (BMI) score of 27 or above and have already been diagnosed with cardiovascular disease – a term which describes conditions relating to the heart or blood vessels. Wegovy, made by Novo Nordisk, typically works by making people feel fuller and less hungry. It does so by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone which is used in regulating blood sugar levels and enhancing insulin secretion. This reduces the amount of glucose, or …

Hezbollah’s Hasan Nasrallah threatens new attacks on Israel

Hezbollah’s Hasan Nasrallah threatens new attacks on Israel

BEIRUT — The leader of Lebanon’s Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group threatened Wednesday to target new areas in Israel if its military does not stop striking civilians in southern Lebanon. Hasan Nasrallah delivered his televised speech marking Ashura, a Shiite Muslim day of mourning, amid an increase in exchanges of fire along the Israeli-Lebanese border and fears that the all-out war in Gaza might expand to other fronts. “If Israeli tanks come to Lebanon, they will not only have a shortage in tanks but will never have any tanks left,” said Nasrallah. Listing towns and villages in southern Lebanon where he said Israeli strikes had killed civilians in recent days, Nasrallah vowed a stronger response if they continued. “The resistance missiles will target new Israeli settlements that were not targeted before.” The fighting on the northern border of Israel began just hours after the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attack on Israeli communities outside the Gaza Strip, with Hezbollah launching rockets in support of Hamas. The violence has resulted in deaths on both sides, losses in agricultural and …

White House says ceasefire deal ‘possible’; Israel attacks Rafah

White House says ceasefire deal ‘possible’; Israel attacks Rafah

The White House said it viewed the cease-fire deal for the Gaza Strip as still possible Thursday, based on Hamas’s latest response to an American-backed plan, as Israel ramped up attacks around Rafah in southern Gaza. “We are working actively to generate a path forward based on what Hamas has come in with,” White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters at the Group of Seven summit in Italy, referring to Hamas’s latest response with an amended proposal. “It gets us to a result that’s consistent with what the U.N. Security Council laid down and consistent with [what] President Biden laid out; we believe that is possible.” At the same time, Sullivan urged Hamas to accept the U.S.-backed proposal that was “on the table.” Hamas “should take it and not try to push this thing in a direction where we just get to stalemate,” he said, calling on the international community to pressure Hamas to accept the deal on offer. President Biden told reporters at the G-7 summit that the leaders discussed the cease-fire …

‘Everywhere is dangerous’: Russia’s attacks on Kharkiv’s homes, shops and resorts | Ukraine

‘Everywhere is dangerous’: Russia’s attacks on Kharkiv’s homes, shops and resorts | Ukraine

The apartment at 24 Liubovi Maloi avenue was an eerie ruin. Its roof and outer walls had disappeared. In one corner a row of suits hung in a wardrobe. There was a TV, a coffee cup, a maroon jacket on a peg. And a black and white photo album with old family snaps taken in communist times. The flat’s inhabitants – Svitlana Vlasenko and her grown-up daughter Polina – were not coming back. The Russian missile that fell on their building on a Friday night killed them and six of their neighbours. Twenty-six people were injured, two of them children. The street in Ukraine’s second city, Kharkiv, was not near any military objects. It was a quiet place of flowerbeds, communal benches and a sandy play area for children. Residents walked their dogs in a resin-scented pine forest, which was also hit in the strike on 31 May by five S-300 rockets. Since Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Kharkiv has been under constant bombardment. Russian troops tried and failed to occupy the city. They …

Hezbollah says it launched attacks at nine Israeli military sites

Hezbollah says it launched attacks at nine Israeli military sites

Gaza’s health ministry collects data from the enclave’s hospitals and the Palestinian Red Crescent. The health ministry does not report how Palestinians were killed, whether from Israeli airstrikes and artillery barrages or errant Palestinian rocket fire. It describes all casualties as victims of “Israeli aggression”. The ministry also does not distinguish between civilians and combatants.  Throughout four wars and numerous skirmishes between Israel and Hamas, UN agencies have cited the Hamas-run health ministry’s death tolls in regular reports. The International Committee of the Red Cross and Palestinian Red Crescent also use the numbers. In the aftermath of war, the UN humanitarian office has published final death tolls based on its own research into medical records. The UN’s counts have largely been consistent with the Gaza health ministry’s, with small discrepancies.  For more on the Gaza health ministry’s tolls, click here. (FRANCE 24 with AP)  Source link
